Mountain Valley Seed Company Easter Lily Bulbs

While these bulbs are pre-cooled for indoor forcing, they are not true houseplants. After they finish blooming indoors, they will eventually go dormant and require a period of rest before they can be planted outdoors in the garden to thrive.

No, these Easter Lilies are not deer resistant. If you live in an area with high deer traffic, you should plant them in containers on a porch or patio, or use protective fencing to keep them safe.

Pre-cooling mimics the natural winter dormancy period that lilies require to trigger blooming. This process allows you to plant them indoors during the winter and enjoy flowers much earlier than you would with untreated bulbs.

Yes, these are perennials in hardiness zones 4-8. Once the threat of frost has passed and you move them to your garden, they will return to bloom again each late spring or early summer.

For the best results, plant the bulbs 4 to 6 inches deep in well-draining soil. This depth provides the necessary stability for the stems and protects the bulb from temperature fluctuations.

These lilies prefer partial shade. While they need light to grow, they can scorch in intense, direct afternoon sun, so choose a spot that offers some protection during the hottest part of the day.
